356 Part III . Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Hard disk partitions are also represented by icons on your KNOPPIX desktop. Click one of those icons and you can access (read-only) the files on that hard disk partition. This is a great feature for getting the information you need without, by default, letting you change or otherwise damage the data on the computer. To make a disk writable, right-click on the disk icon and select Actions.Change read/write mode. If you are not able to write to the disk, refer to the section on making disks writable later in this chapter. . KDE Panel KNOPPIX loads the KDE Panel with applets and launchers for a few useful applications. Click the K button to display the menu containing most KDE applications for you to select. The Web Browser icon launches the Konqueror browser, which is the KDE file manager as well. . KNOPPIX configuration Click the squished penguin icon in the KDE Panel to see a menu of configuration tools specific to KNOPPIX. This is where you can tune up your TV card, configure printers, get your network connection going, and even start a few servers. I describe some of these subjects in particular, how to save data and configuration information across sessions with this otherwise ethereal operating system later in this chapter. . Launching games, players, and other stuff From the KDE menu, you can launch applications as you would from any desktop operating system. Just to illustrate that, I launched a simple game (Frozen Bubble), Konqueror Web browser, and a music player (Juk) for Figure 11-1. Running KNOPPIX, at this point, is just like running any other Linux system with a KDE desktop, with one major exception. By default, you can t save any data permanently. There are a few ways around this issue, especially if you expect to use KNOPPIX on a regular basis. Refer to sections on creating persistent desktops and opening disks for writing later in this chapter. Getting on the Network If you have an Ethernet card and a connection to a network that has a DHCP server, your KNOPPIX system should just start up and offer immediate access to that network (and possibly the Internet if it offers such a connection). If not, KNOPPIX offers several tools for configuring your network connection, including: . Dial-up modem From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet. /dev/modem connection setup. The menus that appear help you create a dial-up connection to the Internet, or other TCP/IP network, using a serial modem, USB modem, IRDA cell phone/PDA, or Bluetooth cell phone/PDA. . ADSL router From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet. ADSL/PPPOE configuration. It will help you connect your broadband ADSL router to connect to the Internet. . GPRS connection From the squished penguin, select Network/Internet. GPRS/UMTS connection to set up a connection via your cellphone provider.
